Kim Kardashian Now Suing Old Navy For Using Look-A-Like Melissa Molinaro


Daily Mail - They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. But Kim Kardashian has been left furious after clothing brand Old Navy used a lookalike in their new ad campaign. The 30-year-old reality star is now suing the clothing giant for somewhere in the region of $15 - $20 million. Perhaps adding to Kardashian's fury is the fact that the model and actress in the ad, Melissa Molinaro, is said to be currently dating 26-year-old NFL player Bush.


15-20 Million? Well that seems a bit outlandish...have you been to an Old Navy lately Kim (of course you haven't, it's rhetorical)? You can buy like 3 shirts and 2 pair of cargo shorts for like 8 bucks. Where do you think they're going to scratch $15-20 million from?  Seriously, look at their commercials? Aside from the one time they splurged and hired your look-a-like, when was the last time they actually hired a real live person? It's always those plastic mannequins, apparently they're able to sell their clothes at steep discounts because of all the cash they're saving on actors in their commercials.

As for the actual law suit, say she happens to win (she won't), does that leave the door open for her to also sue Reggie Bush? Isn't he benefitting from someone imitating her likeness just as much (if not more) than Old Navy.  I'm pretty sure if you asked an Old Navy exec and Reggie Bush who's enjoying the Melissa Molinaro era more, Reggie will be the one with the bigger grin.  I mean sure Old Navy is getting tons of publicity out of this, but Reggie is getting all the fun in plowing her twin without having that nagging thought in the back of his head about how everyone in the world has seen his girlfriend getting nailed by Ray-J. That's gotta be worth more than $15-20 mill, no?
